Recently, we just finish the first toothpaste and wanted to start a new one. Realise 1 toothpaste is expired (wasted!) cos the other time I buy in bulk to cost saving. Then we decided to dig out our supply and found 2 samples of Pureen toothpaste.
Though it is mint flavour, I thought it was for kids so guess it will be mild. Tried it on Jasper and realise that it gives out slight foam (though it should not) so I asked him to guggle his mouth with water and throw it away in the sink.
He was ok but not so for Gemma. Maid brushed her teeth and she like want to vomit.
Next day she develop phobia and refused to brush her teeth though we have change the toothpaste back to first teeth. (cos I think she is too young to learn to throw up water and used to eat the toothpaste) Till nite time she still refused and I step in to tell her it is the same toothpaste she loved. She dun wan to listen and kept crying. I knew she will vomit so I warn her if she vomit, I will def brush her teeth. I also warn as long no brush teeth, she wun be able to go outside. N she really vomitted. Angrily, I brushed her teeth with her still crying. I heartache but I got no choice. Cos brushing teeth is the most impt to protect her baby teeth.
The next day I remind her again. Maid wanted to brush her teeth but she hurried to me to ask me to brush her teeth... haaa clever gal cos she knew she had to let me witness her having her teeth brushed. so that she can go out...
p.s: this morn again refused to brush but maid force her... hiaz.... why my gal sooo stubborn or dirty? refuse to change dirty diaper, refuse to brush teeth, refuse to bath.... hiaz

Genting!
We finally book a trip to Genting during the term break in Happy Train.
We took the Friday night bus as I presume this will be the better choice as the kids would end up fast asleep for the entire 7 hours. I was right but the only inconvenience is waking them up for custom clearance n then trying to make them sleep again for the rest of the trip. But it turn up pretty well and they cooperate n slept (could have slept earlier if the tv is not on though!)
We reached First World Bus terminal at abt 5 a.m. Jasper was still fast asleep while Gemma wake up in a daze n then look around (kapo). We then queued to check in our luggages. By then both are awake but we carried them. By the time we check in the luggages, it was abt 5.30 a.m. So I decided to go to try buffet at Genting hotel as it should be open this time. However as it was my first time there (yes in fact all of us!), we got lost... so decided to ask the lobby.
I asked for map but the lady say run out? Then I ask for directions and she kept looking at her computer... Then asked me to wait for the shuttle bus to take us there. Actually I didn't want this but since, well so we waited. 6.05 a.m not here. 6.10... 6.15.... by then 6.30!
Frustrated I told hb let try out own way. Then I saw a BIG road sign outside signalling to Genting hotel. Decided to try that route... it was a mistake as it was outside and v cold/windy... misty too
anyway we climbed up a small hill n reach Theme hotel! still no sight of Genting hotel. Thinking that this trip is going to be a horrible one, luckily the lobby staff there told me there is a link connecting to that hotel. Finally found it n then realised it was also connected to First World Hotel!!! so malu man... but well it was our first time so we learn....
The kids were still happy I guess... look here. (Gemma always making this cute signs as she do not really know how to make a victory like gor gor)
We ended up eating at another buffet at Resort Kampong at Resort hotel. It was nice! esp the lemak rice.
After breakfast, we proceeded to buy our theme park tickets.
They are taking the rides. First time taking this kind of rides in amusement actually... n they enjoyed it and drive like a pro.
The outside theme park was fun too. but v cloudy that day though! We tried almost everything except for the thrill rides.
We took a nice dimsum bugget at Genting Palace at Genting hotel of cos... Delicious ... even the kids ate despite they have taken their milk already. The century egg porridge taste very good.
At the restaurant...
The temple... nice
Lunch time so we went opp to eat since Jasper wanna rice. There, he saw this swimming pool and wanted to go inside! I then tell him we will go try the rainforest splash pool at Genting.
Jasper ate a donut and plain bread there. Gemma too ate a bit of donut. There is plenty of food so quite worth to go as it was cheaper on weekdays! yes we went on a Monday.
The lemak rice is not as good as the first one we tried though.
Thereafter we went arcade... had so much fun playing and receiving tickets.
Lunch time we ate at Causeway restaurant. Sebas order dumpling noodles which was wrong choice for that time as need more time cooking and we only had 15 min!!! My rice came earlier and I ate finish before his noodles came... imagine
In fact it was Sebas birthday today! Happy Birthday!
We quickly paid $ and I took Jasper to buy his donuts, while Sebas n Gem go take lugguages. By the time I reach the lobby, it was almost 2.30! we were supposed to reach bus terminal by 2.30!

After lunch we went back to do shopping (there were some shops there) at the strawberry park. The kids were sleeping already. Bought snacks for both family and colleagues. Sebas also bought his man utd stuff there... ya he is a fan.
We went back hotel and I brought them to the splash pool and they enjoyed themselves.
By then, it was almost evening and I called bus 9100 to the mushroom farm to eat seafood dinner.
Back at first world plaza,
Third day and last day... so fast... since last day, we tried the buffet at the Genting Hotel. The one we wanted to try on first day.

Anyway we managed to turn up in time and the kids actually slept at 3 p.m! too tired after all the playing! The kids slept n so I also took a nap whiel the bus moved off. By 6 p.m I thought I shld wake them up b4 they turned owls by nite fall... Once awoken, Jasper complained hungry then Gem. So they ate the donuts. After that, thinking that they get bored, I asked them to sing songs for me. They sang and sang. In fact louder and louder until I asked to shhh heee
But I glad they are in a happy mood. Someone even commented they are so cute...We reached home earlier at 9.30 p.m. Since it was papa birthday so we decided to go for ice cream with the kids at Swensons...

Little Gem is doing quite well in Happy Train. Now she is able to count 1-10 in English. Chinese sometimes ok but quite good already.
In school, everything she wanna do herself first, very unlike her bro style. And if she guess something (memory games) correctly, she will put up her fists in victory... hehe so cute
and end of every song, she will claps hands happily.

Last Sun, I brought the kids out for a short outing in Tiong Bahru, alone... yes alone cos hb was down with fever.... later diagnose to have a mild stomach flu.
This could be my first time bringing them out alone shopping. But well there always a first time...
So I brought them to the car and the moment I wanted to put mei on her chair seat behind, she cried and ask to sit with me. I explained to her she cannot sit with me as I will be driving. I thot it was the end, and all of us got to returned back to the house.
Then I ask her if she could sit in front passenger seat (which gor gor is already sitting on the chidl seat there), she nod her head. (in my mind thinking how to tell gor gor as that is his actually) who knows, the next moment my boy gets down from his seat and move behind!
I was so touched at the moment. I didn't even need to explain to Jasper. I was so proud of him that I hugged him. He told me "mei mei scare hor" I thanks him for being understanding and we enjoyed our shopping together. We went Tom and Step, then popular book shop and the arcade and to see rabbits...
Then I dabao yummy roti prata back. Yes on the way back, Jasper still gladly sit behind. At times like this, all my hard work is worthwhile...

Nowadays my kids get into physical fight as well. Boy scold gal and gal will start hitting him back... n then he also start and then fight liao n now I have to tell Jasper that I will scold mei mei myself if she is wrong. It really getting out of hand.
Gemma is also progressing quite well in the Happy Train school. Her memory games are better now than before. or prob she understands the teacher's instructions better now. She can get all the correct sequences and what objects are in teacher's pockets. She also sit thru the entire class unless there r activities that need to roam around the classroom. She gamely participate in every games be it roaming around or just sitting there doing puzzles. Hope she stays this way. She is def not as shy as gor gor, who by now still sometimes doesn't want to roam round to participate the wall games.
in terms of recognising alphabets and numbers, she is still weaker than gor. she can only do 1 and 2 and the rest she can't
and till now, she still doesn't show interest in learning more about them or singing the alphabet song. She do sing other song though but her English is not so clear.
